I don’t know any Democrat who will not immediately draw people’s attention with the most enthusiastic salute when mentioning the socialist medical system in Canada. If you don’t salute them, you will hear how terrible our own system is. In fact, whether you salute or not, you may hear such a voice.
The fact is that although Canada’s “free” health care is said to be celebrated by American leftists, what is not being talked about is how COVID-19 really highlights the loopholes in this so-called near-perfect system.
This report was first published by El American and pointed to a study by a think tank that pointed out that Canada had too many deaths during the pandemic, not because of the virus. These people died due to other problems waiting for medical care.
how many people? Try 10,000:
according to Research Provided by SecondStreet.org, a think tank based in Regina, Canada’s public healthcare system has serious problems in meeting the needs of patients. From April 2019 to December 2020, approximately 10,000 Canadians died while waiting for medical care.
Colin Craig, President of SecondStreet.org Pillar for Toronto Sun The newspaper reported some tragic stories of Canadian patients who died on the waiting list.
Many of these patients died after waiting for months or even years of surgery. A particular example is Judy Anderson, a retired nurse, who lost two daughters during the pandemic because the hospital was asked to focus on COVID-19:
“Judy Anderson, a retired nurse from Port Perry, Ontario, told us that due to the long waiting time in the healthcare system, she lost not only one daughter, but also two daughters. Any parent who had to bury a child is Tragedy, but heartbreaking both times,” Craig wrote. “Recently, Judy’s daughter Shannon was told that because the healthcare system is focused on COVID-19, she must wait a month before undergoing heart surgery. It turns out that waiting for several weeks for treatment is too much for Shannon. Four A child has lost his mother.”
However, it surpassed the COVID-19 pandemic. One patient mentioned in the study waited 2,283 days for hernia surgery (more than six years) before finally passing away. In 2015, a teenage girl was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. Although a donor was found, she still had to wait seven months for bone marrow replacement surgery. Due to health care regulations, the surgeon who asked her to perform operations could only perform such operations five times a month, and there were 30 others before the girl. She waited for death in 2016.
These problems are already bad, but COVID-19 has made them worse. In 2018/2019, about 16% of the patients who died while waiting for treatment in this socialist system. In 2020, this number soared to 43%.
The reason comes from Canada’s request to allocate funds for its medical system. Unlike privately funded doctors in the United States and lower regulations that continue to provide treatment and medical science advancement, the Canadian system mainly stays in the 1970s. In addition, according to Colin Craig, the president of SecondStreeg.org, politicians are largely afraid to talk about it.
“One of the problems is that politicians are reluctant to talk about it. When it is much easier for politicians to do what they have done for decades, why discuss structural reforms that can help patients: cross your fingers and invest more in this issue? How much money?” he said.
If you are sick and dying, the best place is still the United States.Cancer is A more feasible question in the U.S. Thanks to a large number of medicines, the latest technology, and doctors who are willing and able to do what is necessary to help you through the difficulties. Although it is not a perfect system that is more expensive than it should be, it is superior to a healthcare system that is said to have been larger due to nationalization.
In the face of the medical crisis, these cracks in the socialist medical system have indeed begun to widen, and the system is under pressure. When this kind of stress occurs, you can expect people to die unnecessarily.
